Since I also like to plug my amps directly into the wall socket I installed a pair of Sycom surge protectors in my main fuse box, here in Wisconsin there are plenty of thunder storms.While one would do the job I installed one at the top of the panel and one at the bottom.They are about $120 a throw so not a large investment by any means and also may protect your appliances,stove,fridge ect.I'm no electrician but the install was a piece of cake,but always use caution...of course.
